Can I end Escitalopram treatment without seeing a psychiatrist?

Good morning, Since mid-June I have been taking Escitalopram 10 mg. The course of treatment as from the leaflet, improvement of health after 2 weeks, after a month any fears subsided. I do not have a attending physician, prescriptions were issued by a POZ doctor, and the diagnosis was made by a neurologist (social phobia, generalized fears). As a therapy, he considered going to work and "not running away" to ZLA. According to his opinion, the drug should be taken 5-6 months. The question is, should I contact a psychiatrist before postponing medication? I do not know whether the neurologist (who diagnosed me) will have adequate knowledge about the end of treatment and whether another doctor who did not diagnose me, did not conduct treatment, will be able to issue a recommendation / opinions as to the further course of possible treatment? Or can I finish the treatment without a visit? Sincerely, Thomas

Decyzja należy do Pana - nie możemy oceniać wiedzy i kompetencji neurologa czy lekarza POZ w zakresie prowadzenia terapii lekiem Escitalopram. Kiedy pacjent kończy leczenie, zazwyczaj zaleca się stopniowe zmniejszanie dawki przez okres kilku tygodni, aby zapobiec objawom odstawienia.

Terapią zaburzeń lękowych najczęściej rzeczywiście zajmują się psychiatrzy, ponieważ te schorzenia znajdują się w zakresie ich specjalności. Jeśli zdecyduje się Pan na wizytę u psychiatry, to z pewnością zbierze on kompleksowy wywiad, także dotyczący dotychczasowego leczenia, aby jak najlepiej doradzić Panu w zakresie dalszej terapii.
